airgun
Compressed-air weapon
An airgun is a gun that fires projectiles using compressed air or gas rather than explosive propellant.
Airguns include BB guns, pellet guns, and paintball markers.
They're used for target shooting, pest control, and training.
Less powerful than firearms, they're still capable of causing injury: The kid next door shot out our window with an airgun.
